Notable Workbook features:

Resource search tool

The innovative Workbook resource search tool provides users with the ability to instantly search multiple web based image and video databases for media related to your search in one easy to use Workbook window. You simple select the image/video you want and drag it onto your page. No longer do you have to spend hours searching the net or downloading thousands of resources to get the few images that you need.

MindMapping

Instantly create mindmaps on your Workbook page with the Workbook connectors. You can create mind maps using text, images, media, shapes, headings, links to webpages, links to other pages, and much more.. The easy to use connector lines make it easy to connect objects and show relationships and flow on effects, whilst providing for the ability easily to collapse and expand mindmaps.

Workbook’s connection feature provides users with the ability to instantly create their own mindmaps. Connection provides users with the ability to link all objects on a page (ideas, text, pictures etc..). These links can be collapsed and expanded to show flow on effects. The objects can also be moved around a page without losing their linkage.

Workbook Web browser

The inbuilt browser provides users with the ability to search and copy content from the net, whilst still on their Workbook page.

Multiple Live feeds

With Workbook’s live feed tool, you can connect multiple live feed devices (such as document cameras, web cams, digital cameras, etc..) to your computer and have them simultaneously streaming onto your workbook page. You can record, take snapshots, and even pause the feeds.

Teacher feedback

Workbook’s creation, development, and ongoing maturity have been driven by continual teacher feedback. As was the case with the 2Touch IWBs, we’ve listened to what teachers wanted. Freedom to use the software on any board, full ownership of content created, customisable interface; what you wanted is what Workbook delivers.                          

Customisable

A strong point of difference for 2Touch Workbook is its customisable menu capabilities. Schools can create custom classroom layouts so that teachers win instant access to resources, favourite utilities etc right from the lesson work area.

Don’t get Locked down!

The 2Touch Workbook is the Australasian education specialist's answer to competitors' customer lock-in strategies. Your documents and content are your own. While competitors' software is licensed for use with only their hardware, the 2Touch Workbook is freely available to all organisations which use 2Touch products and is licensed for use by staff (and students) for as long as they remain associated with the organisation.

If you find yourself in a new classroom, without a 2Touch IWB, then we want you to keep using Workbook. We understand that there’s not a 2Touch in every classroom around the world, so we have not placed any restrictions on what iwb you can use workbook on – you can use it on ANY iwb brand you find yourself in front of. And that’s the beauty of 2Touch as a whole, we don’t restrict you; you create the content, you keep the content!

Workbook provides comprehensive whiteboarding functionality, as well as innovative customisability which will appeal to organisations wanting to make content from their networks easier to access spontaneously from the classroom.
